05/13/2019 By Diz&Dave
Greetings from the UK?. We are on our holidays!!! We are on a 12-day road trip around Colorado, Utah and Wyoming (a geocaching road trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back again), staying in Air BnB’s en route. Day 1: One cache near the first Air BnB to get us started Day 2: Morning caching around Denver and then headed out on the Mount Evans scenic route ?Day 3: Denver to Colorado Springs, collecting a few caches en-route. Made a snap decision to head out to collect some earthcaches , discovered the amazing Garden of the Gods , Manitou Springs, and the lovely Memorial park. Day 4: A trip up to Pike’s Peak and then a slow cache and dash to Glenwood Springs ? . Day 5: Cached to Vernal via Craig and a scenic drive through the National Dinosaur Monument to Harper’s corner . Day 6: Set off from Vernal, visited the brilliant National Dinosaur Monument , then drove the scenic roadway to Rock Springs, more caching en-route. Day 7: Today was Wildlife Day! Rock Springs to Jackson, and the Teton National park. We saw: Pronged antelope, 2 Moose(s), Bighorn Mountain, Elk herds , an osprey . Day 8: The day we saw three bears !! to West Yellowstone, collected a cache in Idaho. Arrived Yellowstone late morning and had a fantastic time in Yellowstone , amongst the Bison. We had a lot of snow showers???. We watched Old Faithful and did lots of of geography homework earthcaches and virtuals . Day 9: A great morning exploring Yellowstone Park -tastic and loved the stroll around the mud pots. On the long, slow drive to Lander, were we spotted Pronghorns and Mountain Sheep – in the road! We did some caching en-oute, as well as stopping for some chocolates from the Cowboy Chocolatier in Meeteetse. Day 10: Today we met up with a local cacher, who had kindly offered to show us the sights/caches of Lander. And… had an amazing day, not only did we pick up some fun caches, we walked some beautiful trails, in great company and learnt a lot about the local history. Original Wildman was incredibly generous with his time and his hospitality. Day 11. A cache and dash to Cheyenne via Laramie, saw lots of Pronghorns and Jack rabbits , collected 23 caches and spotted some very large cowboy boots in downtown Cheyenne.
Day 12: Our penultimate day, and last full day started with a great breakfast at Epic Egg ,we then started the drive to Denver, with a final epic days caching as we had several challenge caches to pick up (with great D/T ratings) and some by Egreog, as his came recommended by the Original Wildman . We also decided after a morning urban caching to take a tour out to Estes Park , and collect some of Bug Rangers’ very creative caches . This meant that we arrived at our BnB quite late, but our hostess was amazing, and we then headed out for a late dinner, minding Meadowlark, which had fab food, and now pack to pack and log, before a last morning in downtown Denver – 38 caches in all today.
Dave stood on the cache and wandered off chasing a bouncing GPS, Diz read the hint and returned to Dave's original rocky location. Log signed. great area for a picnic.

Caching our way to the Coffee on 8-18-18: International Geocaching Day in Estes Park. Tried to go after this one but the area has been closed off for construction. Hope to try for this one after it opens back up.

Okay, yes, I admit it. I went for this one, finally. After driving past it all summer, I had to find out if it was still there. (It was, but it needs a new baggie for the log.) Come and get me, City of Loveland!

I thought I would pick this up on the way back from Loveland, but it's closed. There's a big "no trespassing" sign on it, and I doubt this park will be open any time soon. It may be appropriate to archive this one for now, at least until we can get to it legally.

FWIW - this are is still "officially" closed. TFTC

Feeling stupid. Long ago, we were right here as part of a multi that Tahosa had set up. We hadn't planned to be here then, but that's where the multi had led us. So of course, we didn't look to see if there was anything else around that needed to be found! Today, it was our 'target'. Access is still verboten here, though as before, we ignored the warnings. If you stay up above, there's no problem with access. Getting down to the 'beach' for that other multi last year was a bit of a trick, though.
